Re: 2012 K & M Precision Rifle Competition - 3-4 March
<span style="font-size: 11pt">Conducting a match like this one begins six months out. Two weeks out several guys work every day preparing the range. Sponsors must be contacted numerous times in some cases. The two nights before the shoot they remain up repairing and preparing the range and prize table. Up to 20 persons can be required to produce an event like this. But don't let that scare you. Some of us owe the rest of us a match.
Competence and professionalism. Brian and Shannon were both. Both those assets are rare character traits in the staff during a match, in my experience. The last thing shooters want in a match is a freak screaming cursing insults to exacerbate stress levels. This staff was courteous, even polite. The staffs' positive, thoughtful attitude helps our sport by encouraging new shooters to continue developing their skills and interest. Thank you for your patience.
I enjoyed getting acquainted with those I hadn't met, and seeing friends again.
Sponsors: to me at least, whether a vendor contributes to a match matters a lot to me. Certainly, I don't buy a product I have not heard of, and one thing I consider when shopping is whether the outfit contributed to matches I've shot or helped produce. Thank you sponsors, but it only serves your own pocket book.
Congratulations John, Dustin, Jeff. May everyone return home safe and (peacefully), and y'all come see us at Long Range Alley in Shreveport.
P.S. Some guys stab fists into the air when their favorite team scores. I do that when a Corsair strafes a live rifle range with me on it. I wanted you to do it again and again. Thank you very much for the air show.
